Specialist Notes

Elegant edition printed in Paris in one copy with 3 works linked together . & nbsp;
& nbsp; Paolo Emili (Verona, c. 1460 - Paris, 5 May 1529) was an Italian humanist and historian. Arriving in Rome at a young age, he studied theology there and was noted for his qualities as a humanist by Cardinal Charles II of Bourbon following whom he moved in 1483 to Paris. Having ascended the throne of Louis XII in 1498, the bishop of Paris Étienne Ponchier commissioned him a history of the French monarchy from its origins to modern times, to which Emili dedicated the rest of his life. & Nbsp;
